Miscellany on the eve of a blue tsunami in the US
Nov. 3 in the United States is midterm election day, indeed the most critical midterm election of my lifetime, as U.S. voters will pass judgment on President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Alas, my editor did me no favors by setting me a Nov. 4 (Korea time) publication date for my monthly column.

The United States is set to hold its midterm elections on November 3, a date that holds significant importance for U.S. voters. This particular midterm election is considered the most critical in the lifetime of the reporter, as it will determine the fate of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Unfortunately, the reporter's editor has assigned the task of writing a column on November 4, during the election, which means the reporter will not have any results to analyze in advance.
However, the reporter believes that event anniversaries and scheduled events make for excellent column material, and this election season, the reporter is deprived of their usual best friend, making this a particularly challenging assignment.
In an attempt to tackle the situation, the reporter will make predictions, thereby holding themselves accountable to the public. According to their assessment, the Democrats are expected to secure approximately 52% of the vote. Despite the lack of data to analyze, the reporter will proceed with their column, offering miscellaneous observations about U.S. politics to fill the void left by their inability to provide analysis based on recent election results.
